A patent has recently been asked for
a new process by which it is proposed TO
Use the waste coal piles at the mouth of
every coal mine. and convert the culm
into a sort of gas that can he used the
same as natural gas is used. The Culm
is 10 be broken up into pieces and run into
a hopper. Ont of the hopper it comes i'll
particles. and Is fed to an air blast. This
blast is broken into different chambers,
and in circulating around each chamber
the particles OF the culm rub against
each other until by the time the last
chamber is reached they are reduced to
"A fine dust that floats around i'll the air
current When the last chamber Is
reached the culm passes through 10
mesh and comes out in dark cloud. 1t
is then fed through pipes. like gas. The
PARTICLES of coal float i'll the air. and com
bine with the oxygen of the air to make
"A hot fire. The inventor claims that this
fuel will make no smoke. but will be all
consumed before reaching the smoke
stack. owing TO its fineneSs. The trouble
with the invention is that it can be used
only on large scale.-New York sun.

Mr. William Diehl has returned tn Spring
field. after having been abroad three months.
after an absence of over half century.
Mr.. Dehl and his wife visited their old
village home, in Germany, and found old
friends who remembered them and were
very glad Ia see them. Indeed, when il
was known that little Willie Diehl, who
left home, al the sge of twelve years. had
come back gray-headed, bat lively and Wig
orous, and a. full ot fun a. ever, the whole
village turned out and inaugurated an i'll
formal but joyous jubilee. Mr.. Diehl saw
the man who put his arms around the elder
Diehrs neck and kissed him. as he left for
America, about 5S Years ago. and to him
first made known his identity. 1t may be-
accepted as a fact that the greeting was a
warm one. Mr.. Diehl saw the Emperor
William, stately, grand and vigorous,
iine type of manhood, and talked much
with his old lellow-countrymen. who are
resting under the common and crushing
burden of taxation 10 sustain Germany's
immense standing army. Ii Was felt that
SOONER or later. this burden must be re-
moved a. it was becoming intolerable Mr.
Dieh spent some time in bewildrring Lon
don and entrancingly beautiful Paris.
but he came back more of
an American-more enthusiastically and
patriOtically so-than ever-fully satisfied
that the United States is the only country
for whole man 10 live in. On their way
from New York the DiehlS visited Mr..
Diehls old friend, Mr. Edward Swope. for
merly Of this city, and found him contented
and prosperous. living in tine house and
life. We are glad to have Mr..
Diehl at home again. He Is very good
and useful citizen-a man who has been the
architect of his own fortune. and the for
tune is a large one, We are glad TO say. He
is man, too, whose Judgment in general
matters is hardly second 10 that of any man
